THORNAFIRE signs with FDA Rekotz
FDA Rekotz is proud to announce the addition of Chilean death squad THORNAFIRE.
Offering
a visceral and ruthless brand of extreme death metal in the vein of
early Sepultura, Death and Massacre, THORNAFIRE has established
themselves as force to reckoned with through their intense live show and
a trio of well-received albums. The band's fourth full-length will be
out in late 2013 on FDA Rekotz. Prepare yourselves for the coming
onslaught of high-caliber death metal!
The
band has issued a video statement discussing their deal with FDA
Rekotz and the addition of drummer Nikko Pagani to the lineup. Check it
out HERE.
A video of the song "Malefactor Manifesto" off the band's 2012 release Eclipse Nox Coagula is now playing at this location.
THORNAFIRE
started out in 1998 by the hand of Víctor Mac-Namara with the sole
intention of playing Death Metal. A year later two songs were recorded
for the Granded for all Somberness demo. With that tape and a
savage live show the band started to achieve a strong name in the local
scene. After a series of line-up changes, an MCD entitled Mortus Tenebrae Surrectus
was released in 2001, which received many good reviews from the local
and international metal media. With that THORNAFIRE became one of the
most promising Chilean extreme metal acts. The recording saw worldwide
distribution via the tried and true methods of tape-trading and word of
mouth. THORNAFIRE began to gig and tour around Chile and into Bolivia
and Argentina. In 2005, the band recorded their debut full-length, Exacerbated Gnostic Manifestation.
The album stood out as a milestone in brutality and a masterpiece of
hate. It also caught the attention of Incantation's John McEntee, who
signed THORNAFIRE to his label, Ibex Moon Records. The spring of 2007
saw the re-release and worldwide distribution of the debut and, in 2009
the band released Vorex Deconstrucción
on Ibex Moon Records. A European invasion soon followed which saw the
band appear alongside the likes of Master, Incantation, Deranged and
many others at the Obscene Extreme Festival. Since then, THORNAFIRE has
shared stages with Slayer, Overkill, Dimmu Borgir, Motley Crue and
several other notable acts. In 2012, bassist/vocalist Christian Argandoña joined the fold and Eclipse Nox Coagula
was unleashed with critical acclaim and rabid reception from the band's
growing legion of fans. With a deal with FDA Rekotz in place,
THORNAFIRE's quest for global domination continues. Prepare yourselves.
Kaotoxin Records To Release Debut EP From UK Blackened Death Metal Act SIDIOUS
Kaotoxin Records will release Ascension to the Throne ov Self
from UK Black/Death act SIDIOUS on May 7th worldwide. Featuring two EYE
OF SOLITUDE members, SIDIOUS is the British black phoenix rising from
the ashes of what once was Seed of Detest, combining the former's
sorrowful mourning with the latter's aggression, giving birth to a
higher level of darkened alchemy. SIDIOUS mixes influences as diverse
as Deathcore, Symphonic Black Metal, Death Metal and modern Black /
Death (e.g. Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth, Zyklon) to create something of
their very own transubstantiating the power of each individual
aforementioned genre to multiply.
SIDIOUS
brings orchestral parts to the utterly brutal blast beats and complex
drumming, offering a varied range of riffing, while crafting some of
the most beautiful and soulful solos heard in ages. It is topped off
with commanding vocals and an emphasis on creating their own brand of
dark arts, both powerful and dynamic in delivery. The music of SIDOUS
seeks to fuel the cultivation of culture and propagation of self,
whilst debasing incomprehension of the corporeal realm. The lyrical
content focuses on the concept of the rebirth of humanity, after
generations of ignorance compounded by religious and monetary systems. Ascension to the Throne ov Self was produced by the legendary Russ Russell (Dimmu Borgir, Lock Up, Napalm Death, etc).
Check out the official EP trailer at this location.
Preorders are available from now until May 5th. During this time, Ascension to the Throne ov Self can be ordered as an MCD or limited edition MCD + t-shirt / girlie. The t-shirt offer is exclusive to the preorder. Visit the following links for details:
1. Insurmountable Mass
2. Sentient Race
